On their way for investigation of meals items they gnaw and chew off the furnishings and upholsteries. These rodents also ruin the electrical and digital home equipment by gnawing the wires and cables of these home home equipment. These rodents also get within the store rooms and tear the bags and sacks stuffed with cereals and grains.

Rodent pest control involves discouraging infestations of mice and rats as well as avoiding contact with rodents. This generally involves removing shelter, water, and food sources. This is done by first sealing holes around the home to prevent invasion. This may involve inserting barriers in the holes to actually making changes to the physical structure. Also, strategically trapping rodents outside the home is included in the overall strategy. Then it is important to clean up the potential nesting areas and food sources.

Sometimes rodent pest control preventive measures don't work by themselves. Sometimes it requires the identification of the problem source so a treatment method can be developed. Unless a rodent infestation is particularly bad, you may never see one. However you may notice dog food or other types of food bags torn open and eaten. The inevitable sign that causes most home owners to cringe is the tell-tale droppings that will show around entry and nesting areas, and food sources. Also, pungeant smells, particularly of rodent urine may well be present.

To exterminate rodents yourself, you will have the choice of traps, poison bait or both. Most people don't have much affinity for rats or mice that have invaded their house so they opt for kill traps that snap shut or glue strips that trap the critters in order to allow the home or business owner to dispose of them appropriately. This is pretty distasteful but sometimes necessary to eradicate the bulk of pests that have invaded some area of a building.

Poison bait is another rodent pest control option and is most effective when combined with kill traps to quickly eradicate rodents yourself. The kill traps baited with cheese or peanut butter will rapidly eradicate the most active rodents, while the bait will kill the remaining, but more cautious rodents. Rats and mice die after consuming the poison baits, most of which are formulated to cause the rodents to seek out a water source driving them outside the home or office building. This keeps the bulk of them from dieing inside the walls or inside in areas where they will cause an odor. When using poison bait be sure to read all application instructions and warnings. Rodent pesticide can be harmful to humans or pets if used improperly.

For more serious infestations of rodents, a licensed professional exterminator may be required. When using a pest control company be careful not to go by price alone. Be sure exterminators are licensed, bonded and have all necessary regulatory compliance in place before allowing them to tackle your rodent pest control job. The National Pesticide Information Center has a call number for the public (1-800-858-7378). They can confirm the credentials and recommend a pest control company in your area.

There are two regulatory agencies that are involved in the composition, application and safety of pesticides and companies licensed to apply them. The Centers for Disease Control deals with the effects of poisons on populations where they are used. The Environmental Protection Agency oversees their effect on the environment in general.

With the newly cut fields and the colder nights drawing in rodents such as rats and mice are seeking new warmer homes for the winter. Unfortunately for us though their new homes tend to be our homes so now is a perfect time to block any holes or install repellents to get rid of those pesky vermin. However if the rodents are already inside the property using poisons carefully is another fast fix.

Blocking holes is a quick fix. We highly recommend using wire wool and nothing else for this. What defines a rodent a rodent is their continuous growing teeth. Having teeth that never stop growing means that the rodent needs to gnaw to keep their teeth sharp and short. Continuous gnawing means that the rodent can actually drill holes through concrete, plastics, wood etc however filling holes with wire wool will cut the gums of the rodent and they won't be able to pass. The rodent isn't too persistent with gnawing through wire wool and will leave the property quickly.

The installation of an ultrasonic pest repellent will also work very well. I have been asked many times whether they work or not, and the answer is yes. They are lots of different variations of pest repellents on the market, some have the ultrasonic setting, others have both the ultrasonic and electromagnetic setting. The ultrasonic pest repellent only work in open space and only in the single room the unit is plugged into. One of these units is never enough, and we would recommend installing more throughout the house and remembering to install the unit in open corridors or in plug-sockets that aren't being blocked by any furniture. Units that also have the electromagnetic setting are better units as these units will protect the cabling of the property as well as the room they are plugged into. They will go through cavity walls via the cables and it will stop rodents from chewing through cabling which will ultimately save you money on repairs. It must be noted the ultrasonic devices are not an immediate fix and can take up to 3 weeks. Rodents have been seen to approach the unit itself, but this does not signify that the unit is broken.

The final other method of rodent pest control is using the traditional poison method. Using rodent poison bait carefully and according to the label is a preferred method of controlling rats and mice but users must be careful that only the targeted species are killed. Open bait trays can only be used indoors and away from pets and really are ideal for loft areas (make sure you don't have bats and poisoning squirrels is also illegal). Open bait stations are easy to refill and monitor and uptake can be quicker then boxes. For larger areas, open bait sources are far less time consuming and cost effective. For anything outside , if it be under a shed etc. a locked bait station is required. Loose bait can be used in boxes but remember to put them in trays inside a box to stop spillage. Placing a brick or a heavy object on top of the box is also recommended. Block bait is also available and its also ideal for indoor and outdoor use. Block bait is for use inside bait boxes and is far safer to use in areas of activity, for example in corridors, play areas, near dogs etc. Block bait is either tightly packed into the box or comes on a spindle so spillage isn't possible. Block bait is a very safe bait to use and is preferred over loose bait.

Most customers ask about where the rodent dies and in 9 cases out of 10 the rodent will die in its nest. The poison can be a single feed kill or multiple kills do it isn't an instant kill. The rodent will begin to feel unwell and in most cases will wonder home. If you do find a dead rodent we suggest that you bag and bin it, or bury it.

Alternative methods to controlling rodents are trapping but as with poisons you need to be careful in setting the traps. Rat and Mouse Traps are violent object that can hurt pets, children and adults, so when using a traps positioning is very important.

We all like to satisfy our winter needs for a warm, safe place with plenty of food in the pantry. But so do rodents and other animals. When these pests intrude on our property, it becomes a situation much like kicking out the unwelcome kid next door who is constantly coming over and staying past dinner, and insists on using everything in your house for his own purposes. There are several types of animals to watch out for as it gets colder: rats, mice, raccoons, and opossums.

Rats & Mice: The general types of these rodents that exist in your home can include the Norway rat, the roof (or black) rat and the house mouse. Roof rats usually stake out attics or cabinets and can climb quite well. Norway rats choose to live in the ground by digging burrows against foundations, tree trunks, and gardens. Their burrows can lead into crawl spaces and small openings around pipes which can enable them to inhabit your kitchens and bathrooms.

No matter the type of rat that lives in your home, you can be sure that it will be attracted to any food item you have in your pantry, especially high-quality food products such as meat and fresh grain. If you have pets, be extra cautious about foods being left out, because rats will smell and detect dog food that is sitting out.

Rats need one-half to one fluid ounce of water everyday when consuming dry foods. They have extremely sharp senses of taste, hearing, and smell. Once they are aware of what is within their reach and given their keen senses, rats will do anything to get to food or shelter. Overall, rats are able to enter a building through openings that are wider than half an inch across. Rats have a very short life span -- most die within a year. However, rats can breed rapidly, so even though they die off quickly, their young will survive them. Female rats produce five or six litters of about half a dozen to a dozen young each year.

Now that you know a little about the rat's habits, how can you tell that you have rats living alongside you in your home? Spotting droppings or visible signs of fresh gnawing should be an obvious indicator of rats. Rat tracks can appear on dusty surfaces or mud. Rats usually build runways and burrows to get into your home and they can be found next to buildings and under debris and low vegetation.

Rodent Treatment

There are many things you can do to prevent rats, but what about the rats you know are already snooping in your attic and dark corners?

Snap traps can be used along with baits to attract rats. However, once other rats see that a fellow rat has been killed from a snap trap, they will avoid it at all costs. The other drawback to using a snap trap is the potential health hazards it can cause when the rat is killed by the trap. Snap traps can also pose a danger to children or pets in your home, as they can break bones or cause an even more serious injury.

Glue-boards are traps that use non-drying glue to capture and hold down rodents. These traps can be placed under tables, furniture, next to walls, refrigerators, or any place where you suspect rodent activity. Glue-boards are designed to get the rodent stuck on the board so that they cannot escape. Like the snap traps, glue-boards can pose health problems if rats' bodies are pulled apart and exposed in your home.

Live traps are probably the easiest and most inexpensive rodent control out there. The other benefit of live traps is that it poses less risk or danger to animals you are not targeting, such as your pets. They also do not kill rats, unlike all the other methods discussed above. Instead, rats are captured and left in the trap until you dispose of them. Be sure to place enough bait to attract rats. If rats are without food, they may become anxious and eventually die, leaving behind their bodies to decay, as well as a horrible stench. Try to find areas where there are a lot of rat droppings, chewed entry points, and any other place you suspect rat activity or have heard noises from.

Rodent Proofing

Here are some simple rules of thumb you can adopt to prevent a rodent invasion in your home:

- Store all your accessible food in rodent-proof containers such as glass or metal

- Place your trash in tightly covered metal cans to prevent smells from escaping or potential rodent entry.

- Check your faucets to make sure they are functioning properly and to fix leaks as they occur, since gaps or holes around pipes can serve as easy entry points for rodents.

- Seal up any unnecessary openings with concrete or sheet metal. For other access points, a 1/4 inch hardware cloth or steel wool should do the trick.

- For pet owners, put any uneaten pet food away before you go to bed, as any pet food left out is subject to rodent consumption!

- Wipe your floors often! Any bits of food left on your floor may be game for mice.

Commensal Rodents

The most common commensal rodents, raccoon and opossums, are known to many homeowners as troublemakers because of the damage they can cause by hibernating in your attic or wreaking havoc in your garden.

These animals normally hide out in attics, under decks, sheds, garages, crawl spaces, etc. Sometimes, they choose to live in naturally formed holes near foundations. Raccoons and opossums especially have an affinity for digging in yards and garbage. They love to inhabit attics where they can care for their litter in a warm, dark, and enclosed environment. If they are living in your attic, chances are your attic has a strong odor, which can eventually make its way into the living area. Besides odor problems, raccoons can destroy your insulation and chew on any electrical wires present.

Preventing Animal Pests

Here are some ways you can prevent those pesky raccoons and opossums from entering your property:

Spray a non-chemical solution over the areas where these animals are prone to dig or consume food. This will leave a bad taste in their mouths and will discourage it from going to the same place to cause trouble.

- Use a non-drying glue when animals are climbing your bird feeder poles. Once the raccoon or opossum gets the glue from the pole on their paws, it will usually irritate them enough to discourage them from climbing the pole again.

- Implement a 24/7 motion detector near your fish pond. The motion detector will be able to detect the animal when it is in its range. The detector is non-chemical and will release a three-second spray of water to scare the pest away.

For raccoons and opossums who are already inhabiting your home, trapping with a bait (usually meat) is the most effective and viable way to get rid of them. However, you should only handle raccoons and opossums if you are an experienced handler. If you are not sure what to do, the best idea is to call an animal removal service. Anteater Pest and Lawn can send a trained professional out to the property to identify, inspect and design a program for you. The Exclusion portion of their Rodent Service is designed to:

- Identify rodent and rodent damage
- Inspect conditions conducive to rodents
- Seal/Close entry and exit points
- Install traps
- Return and remove traps
- Include a 1 Year renewable warranty

Once you are armed with the right facts and materials, you should be able to handle rodents quickly and efficiently before they overstay their welcome in your home and ruin your holidays.
